[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 314179, member: 7537"] There are all kinds of ways to put that lower deck in.....I ran aluminum tubing across the ribs and used self tapers in the ribs. I would not go thru the hull at all.....you could also hang vertical bracing from the side lockers down to the ribs and attach with screws. Honestly I learned as I went with my mod......I know you have probably heard this but use the search function and try to adapt other peoples soulutions to the decking. I spent many hours looking at how other people set the decks up. Look at a little snookered, johnboat jerry, country dave....badbadger....just to name a few. There are thousands of mods on here with just about every way to make the deck. I hope this helps. Try to search your boat and see what other people did. It really works. Ask lots of questions too.
